It really does though.

while there s plenty of shit rap artists like "mumble rappers" many rappers are at least still innovative, clever and form complex rhymes, metaphors and similies double entendres etc.. It ranges massively from talented comedian rappers like Little Dicky to old school skill like Eminem.

Meanwhile country music is utterly dead.

its so utterly stale every single artist adopts the same "country twang" even when they arent from the south.

their lyrics are boring and recycled. there is nothing innovative at all. show me a song that doesnt sing about whiskey, tractors, jeans, church, pickup truck, tail gate, beer etc. They often arent even trying to rhyme anymore. its become truly lazy popified garbage

As a huge Lauryn Hill fan, I thoroughly disagree. I don't mind country - imo there's a lot of overlap between country and rap, in that a majority of the music is average, but there are standout songs that are amazing and terrible standouts too. But taste is subjective and you're entitled to yours.

Rap is wonderful. Especially when The Three Tenors sang it.

A wet fart sounds better than rap

Electronic thumping, some angry young ghetto fugitive with his pants around the bottom of his ass chanting about beating hos and capping cops, as he stalks back and forth on stage waving his arms in odd ape-like movements. Yeah, that's right up there with Beethoven, Duke Ellington, and the Beatles. Rap is crap.

Okay, so now you hate my guts. I guess I'll have to reconcile myself to the prospect of life without your approval. Rap is crap.

Spoken word to replace singing can be creative and create a nice song - occasionally. But how and why did it ever become the dominant genre? It's a clear sign of cultural decline.

Yeah, I could take it in limited quantities. But it's became a cheap replacement for real vocal talent.

I'm a fan of Old Skool, but I find modern rap is not my cup of tea (I must be getting old).

They both suck. Though country does have an occasional good song while rap has none.
